Patents by Inventor Eric A. Geisler

Eric A. Geisler has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 10255399
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a design tool for designing a system on chip (SoC) includes hardware mapping logic to automatically generate a channel mapping for a path between a first intellectual property (IP) logic of the SoC and a second IP logic of the SoC. The hardware mapping logic, based at least in part on user input of a source channel associated with the first IP logic, a sink channel associated with the second IP logic and at least one derivation parameter, is to generate the channel mapping according to one of a plurality of derivation algorithms. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

  • Patent number: 10235486
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a design tool for designing a system on chip (SoC) includes hardware logic to generate one or more configuration files for a fabric of a SoC to be designed by the design tool. This logic is configured, based at least in part on user input, to generate the one or more configuration files, according to at least one of: automatic derivation of all parameters of the fabric, according to a first user selection; manual input by a user of at least some parameters of the fabric and automatic derivation of at least other parameters of the fabric, according to a second user selection; and manual input by the user of the all parameters of the fabric, according to a third user selection. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

  • Publication number: 20160188529
    Abstract: In an example, a control system may include a system-on-a-chip (SoC), including one processor for real-time operation to manage devices in the control system, and another processor configured to execute auxiliary functions such as a user interface for the control system. The first core and second core may share memory such as dynamic random access memory (DRAM), and may also share an uncore fabric configured to communicatively couple the processors to one or more peripheral devices. The first core may require a guaranteed quality of service (QoS) to memory and/or peripherals. The uncore fabric may be divided into a first “real-time” virtual channel designated for traffic from the first processor, and a second “auxiliary” virtual channel designated for traffic from the second processor. The uncore fabric may apply a suitable selection or weighting algorithm to the virtual channels to guarantee the QoS.
